Iowa DOT Top 200
|
||
| The Iowa Department of Transportation Office of Traffic and Safety has produced a list of the top 200 safety improvement candidate intersection locations in Iowa. This list is supplemental to Iowa DOT's primary focus, Iowa’s 5 Percent Safety Report. | ||
| To develop this list, all crashes in Iowa are used to determine an initial cut of intersections that meet the criteria of at least one crash. The intersections thus determined are then ranked according to the number of crashes, the severity of the crashes, and the rate at which crashes occur. To read more details regarding Iowa's SICL, see Iowa SICL Method. | ||
| The DOT utilizes crash reports filed by city police departments, county sheriffs, the Iowa State Patrol, and individual drivers in determining the listings. | ||
| The locations identified are eligible for funding assistance to develop safety improvements under the Iowa Traffic Safety Fund Program. Grant applications for funding are competitive and subject to comparison with the 5% Severe Safety Needs list. The DOT will select proposals that provide the greatest safety return on the dollars invested. Proposals must be submitted to the DOT by June 15th each year to qualify for funding the following year. The Iowa Transportation Commission will consider and approve funding for selected locations during November and December. | ||
| Safety improvement candidate locations for each community available upon request and the county and larger city listings will soon be available through the County and City Profile pages. | ||
